Dear friends and Family,
So this week was really good. We worked really hard, and
helped a lot of people. So a miracle that happened yesterday was that 7 people
were baptized. It was amazing. They were amazing. We baptized Raqueal, Juberto,
Oliver, (one family) Claudia (one person) Maria, Iolasio, and Inara (the
Alessandre family). Seven people! It was so exciting. Lots of water, and lots
of spirit. I went on splits a lot this week with other missionaries, and
witnessed other miracles as well. Like this one grandma who had been seeing
missionaries for 16 years asked us when she was going to be baptized while I was
there! And a mom, who was about to kick us out of her house...because she was
very passionate about her own religion, had us stay, share a message and asked us
to come back simply because I was American. haha. Here, Americans are
rockstarts. Its kinda funny.
Last but not least, the language. I am understanding a ton
more. I am able to understand people way better, and have actually had some
pretty long and good conversations with people. Its amazing how fast I'm
learning the language. I have faith that Ill become fluent, and I'm working so
hard, I'm always studying words. and the Lord is speeding up my learning. Its
amazing. Only eight weeks in the field, and I'm able to speak this much. It's a
miracle.
